Support John's Battle Against Oral Cancer
Donation protected
Hi, I hate to put this out there, but I hate more for John to financially worry with this upcoming procedure. The dreaded “C” word has hit our home. If you know John you know that he’s a very private person so this is a lot….really a lot!! After dealing with issues for about a year and a half and being told nothing is wrong in December, after wisdom teeth pain an oral surgeon biopsied the lesions on the tongue. He was diagnosed with oral cancer . He had the lesions removed on his tongue and the floor of mouth and the underlying tissue was biopsied. We thought everything was in the clear. Not so as he was diagnosed with a more aggressive oral cancer in the tissue of the tongue. In May he is getting ready to have a very invasive surgery to remove part of his tongue. This is not the diagnosis that we were hoping for. He is going to have to be off for an extended amount of time while he is recovering mostly without pay as he has used most of his sick days for doctor appointments and procedures.
